SKU: 330104-00-05-50-02-00
Bently Nevada 330104-00-05-50-02-00 3300 XL 8mm Proximity Sensor Probe
The Bently Nevada 330104-00-05-50-02-00 is a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe featuring a 5.0-meter total length and specialized connector protectors. This industrial-grade eddy current sensor provides precise non-contact measurement of shaft vibration and position, facilitating advanced predictive maintenance for critical rotating equipment.
Precision Machinery Condition Monitoring
The Bently Nevada 330104-00-05-50-02-00 belongs to the renowned 3300 XL 8mm series, representing a gold standard in eddy current sensor technology. This proximity probe measures static (position) and dynamic (vibration) distances between the probe tip and the observed target material. By converting these physical displacements into proportional voltage signals, the sensor allows for the continuous tracking of shaft vibration and axial position. Consequently, plant operators gain the ability to monitor critical tolerances in high-speed rotating machinery with extreme accuracy.

Operational Reliability and Durability
Industrial facilities operate in demanding environments; therefore, Bently Nevada constructs these probes to withstand chemical exposure, high pressure, and temperature extremes. The 3300 XL system features a patented Tip-to-Case seal that effectively prevents moisture and oil from infiltrating the sensor internals. Furthermore, the Gold-plated ClickLoc connectors ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant electrical path back to the Proximitor Sensor. Because this hardware integrates seamlessly with the 3500 series monitoring racks, it provides a robust foundation for any comprehensive Asset Condition Monitoring (ACM) strategy.
Targeted Industrial Applications
Maintenance teams typically deploy the 330104-00-05-50-02-00 on critical turbomachinery where even minor shaft deviations can lead to catastrophic failure. Common applications include:
- Monitoring radial vibration in fluid-film bearing motors and generators.
- Measuring thrust position in centrifugal compressors and steam turbines.
- Tracking eccentricity and differential expansion in large-scale power generation units.
- Capturing Keyphasor signals for phase timing and rotational speed measurement.

31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 | Bently Nevada | 31000 Proximity Probe Housing
Technical Overview
The Bently Nevada 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 is a specialized proximity probe housing designed to physically protect a proximity probe and its integral cable within harsh industrial environments. Its primary function is to provide a secure, environmentally sealed mounting point on rotating machinery for acquiring critical vibration and position data. The housing is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel, offering robust protection against physical impact and corrosion. This specific configuration, 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02, features a 3/4-14 NPT external mounting thread for direct installation into a machine case. Internally, it accommodates a Bently Nevada 3300 XL 8 mm or 3300 5 mm probe, which is positioned by a 1.0-inch stinger (probe sleeve). The housing facilitates the signal path from the probe tip to the Bently Nevada 3500 Monitoring System. The probe, connected via an extension cable to a Proximitor Sensor, generates a high-frequency RF signal. The resulting eddy current field is used to measure the distance to the observed conductive target. The Proximitor Sensor conditions this signal into a calibrated DC voltage proportional to the gap, which is then transmitted to a 3500/42M Proximitor/Seismic Monitor module for analysis, alarming, and machinery protection.

Operational Capabilities
In Oil & Gas applications, the 31000-16-10-15-030-03-02 housing provides essential protection for transducers monitoring centrifugal and reciprocating compressors, pumps, and gearboxes. Its 304 Stainless Steel construction and Viton seals ensure long-term integrity in environments containing corrosive elements such as H2S and hydrocarbons, a critical requirement for meeting API 670 standards for machinery protection systems. In Power Generation, this housing is extensively used on steam and gas turbines, exciters, and boiler feed pumps. It maintains measurement accuracy and reliability under conditions of high temperature and vibration, which is fundamental for monitoring shaft radial vibration, axial thrust position, and differential expansion. The passive mechanical design results in a high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), contributing to overall plant availability. When properly installed, the housing assembly provides an environmental rating equivalent to NEMA 4X and IP65, preventing ingress of dust, moisture, and process contaminants that could otherwise compromise signal integrity
